Bug Bites
Some of the most common biting bugs are fleas, mites, and chiggers.
- Fleas are small, visible brown/red bugs that are known for their jumping. They typically spread from dogs, cats, or rodents in the home. Their bites are most often concentrated around the ankles and cause small, red, very itchy bumps.
- Mites appear as tiny, moving specks. They spread from the nests of birds and rats and burrow into skin around the waist, in the bends of knees and elbows, and in warm sensitive areas.
- Chiggers are not visible to the naked eye. They often bite through clothes where they are tight to the skin. The bites can take about 1-2 days to appear and cause intense itching.

Poison Ivy
Poison Ivy causes skin irritation via an oil resin that is present in the leaves, stem, and even roots. The same oil is present in Poison Sumac and Poison Oak plants. Contact with skin causes redness, itching, swelling, and even blisters. The oil can also transfer to other people and objects if not washed off properly. Our team at A B Pest Control can help by improving the health of your lawn and getting rid of pesky weeds with turf management.
Insulation
Pink fiberglass insulation is made with very fine glass fibers. If the insulation comes in contact with your skin, it causes itchiness, irritation, and sometimes an allergic reaction. A B Pest Control can also assist with insulation services in Lake of the Ozarks and would be happy to handle your next project. We can do foam, cellulose, fiberglass, and pesticide infused insulation for additional pest protection in your home.
When you encounter any of these itchy situations, make sure to take care of yourself. Clean the affected area of skin, use soothing anti-itch products, and see a doctor if necessary. Call us at A B Pest Control to come out to your home for preventative care on all these issues. We can treat your home and lawn for pests, implement turf management, and handle your insulation installation for you. Let us take care of you!
